"word") - a word, the meaning of a word or a phrase that has recently appeared in a language. From this definition it is clear that the concept of neologism is changeable over time and relatively: a word remains a neologism as long as the speakers perceive novelty in it. For example, for the Russian language of the late 20th century. a certain novelty is felt by the majority in words of foreign origin image maker,summit,Internet, in words formed from Russian morphemes: White House members(about the defenders of the White House in Moscow during the October events of 1993), cash"cash" denationalization“transformation of state property into any other property - private, cooperative, collective, etc.”, in phrases hotline,shadow economy, in recently appeared meanings of some old words: burglar"one who 'hacks' computer programs" green"U.S. dollars ", apple“relating to the socio-political association “Yabloko””, etc.

New words that appear in the language to designate new things and concepts (in connection with the development of science, technology, culture and other aspects of the social life of society) are usually called lexical neologisms proper (in the examples just given these are words image maker,summit,Internet,White House members,cash,denationalization). If the old form of a word is used, but a new meaning is assigned to it, then they talk about a semantic neologism ( burglar,green,apple man). Speed ​​type hotline,shadow economy, in which the very connections of words with each other are new and unusual, are called combinable neologisms. All three types of neologisms are united under the common name “linguistic”.

In addition to linguistic ones, individual or author’s neologisms can be found in speech. Unlike linguistic ones, they, being created by one person - a poet, writer, public figure, etc. - remain a part of the individual style and their novelty and unusualness do not fade over time. These are, for example, many neologisms of V. Mayakovsky ( hulk,December,snort etc.), V. Khlebnikov ( exhausted,rapturous,laughers and etc.); V. Vysotsky called the physicist quantalerist, combining the physical term quantum with the word cavalryman Some of the author's neologisms - especially those that are expressive and at the same time denoting communicatively important phenomena - may fall into general use. This happened, for example, with the words that M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin came up with: bungler And bungling,stupidity. Korney Chukovsky coined the word stationery, which means painful (cf. words like diphtheria,colitis and so on.) the tendency of some people to inappropriately use clerical words and phrases. Certain author's neologisms have become so firmly entrenched in the language that now only specialists can establish that, for example, the word industry in the past - the author's neologism: two centuries ago it was introduced into use by N.M. Karamzin. Verb fade away entered the general literary dictionary thanks to F.M. Dostoevsky; a well-known word now mediocrity(emphasis first based on: mediocrity, and later on the prefix: mediocrity) was first used by the poet Igor Severyanin.

Neologism words appear in a language in three ways:

1) through word-formation derivation - the formation of new words from existing morphemes in the language according to known (usually productive) models; the most common methods of forming neologisms are suffixation ( grounded – grounded,screw-it - screw-a,tease - teaser,geologist – geologist-in-ya), prefix ( post-Yeltsin,super profitable), prefix-suffix method ( everyday life - about everyday life,sound - o-sound-iva-t), addition of stems, often in combination with suffixation ( substance abuse,little picture,foreignness), truncation of stems, especially characteristic of the formation of neologisms in colloquial speech ( crazy- from schizophrenic,beech- from used bookstore);

2) by semantic derivation, i.e. development in an already existing word of a new, secondary meaning based on the similarity of the newly designated phenomenon with an already known phenomenon: shadow– associated with illegal methods of enrichment ( shadow business,shadow economy); paralysis– complete inaction of power, economic, social and political mechanisms in the state ( power paralysis,the economy is on the verge of paralysis), tourer– a criminal who commits crimes in different places outside his permanent residence;

3) by borrowing words from other languages ​​( voucher,image,marketing,know-how,thriller and many others) or from uncodified subsystems of a given language - from dialects, vernacular, jargons: for example, for the 1960s, neologisms were words borrowed from dialects craftsman, colloquial noun that has entered literary circulation window dressing(and the adjective derived from it ostentatious), in modern speech are felt as relatively new slang words in origin chaos,disassembly,party and under.

A special group of neologisms consists of lexical and phraseological calques - words and combinations of words created under the influence of foreign language samples: steep“making a strong impression with his determination, manners and behavior, ability to influence others, etc.” (“translation” of one of the meanings of English. tough), skinheads(English) skinheads), hotline(English) hot line), brain drain(English) brain drain) and so on.

In the Russian lexicographical tradition, neologisms are recorded in special dictionaries. The most famous of them are several issues of the reference dictionary New words and meanings edited by N.Z. Kotelova and Yu.S. Sorokin (L., 1973, 1984) and ed. E.A. Levashov (St. Petersburg, 1997), compiled based on materials from the press and literature of the second half of the 20th century; Explanatory dictionary of the Russian language of the late twentieth century edited by G.N. Sklyarevskaya (St. Petersburg, 1998), Dictionary of perestroika edited by V.I. Maksimova (St. Petersburg, 1992), as well as a series of books called New in Russian vocabulary. Vocabulary materials, published from 1977 to 1996. Dictionaries of author’s neologisms are also being created: for example, N.N. Pertsova compiled Dictionary of neologisms by Velimir Khlebnikov(Vienna - Moscow, 1995).

Occasionalisms should be distinguished from neologisms (lat. occasionalis "random") - words formed “on occasion”, in specific conditions of speech communication and, as a rule, contrary to the linguistic norm, deviating from the usual ways of forming words in a given language. Occasionalism often appears in speech as a means of language play, jokes, puns: slander(in N.S. Leskov - the result of a punning combination of words slander And feuilleton), first printer(a word created by I. Ilf and E. Petrov by deliberately distorting the word pioneer); Chukokkala- the name of K. Chukovsky’s handwritten almanac, which combines the first part of his surname and the second half of the name of the village of Kuokkala near St. Petersburg, where K. Chukovsky lived before the revolution.

Close to occasionalisms are the so-called potential words - lexical units that are not in the dictionary of a given language, but which are easily formed according to certain word-formation models: cf. words like grabber,chase,launcher,clapper and under. An important difference between occasionalisms and potential words is that occasionalisms are “violators of the laws (rules) of general language word formation,” and potential words, on the contrary, “filling the empty cells of word-formation paradigms... implement the laws of word formation” (E.A. Zemskaya ).

Occasionalisms and potential words are often found in spontaneous colloquial speech: with a word created on occasion - in accordance with the laws of word formation or contrary to them - the speaker often denotes either something that does not have a standard name, or something for which he cannot immediately remember the regular designation.

Subject: “Neologisms and their varieties. Ways of formation of new words and meanings in our time.”

    Tell me, what groups can neologisms be divided into?

1) Depending on the method:

a) lexical - these are neologisms that were formed according to productive models from elements found in the language; borrowed from other languages;

b) semantic - these are neologisms that arise as a result of assigning new meanings to already known words.

2) Depending on the conditions of creation, neologisms are divided into:

a) general linguistic (usual) - these are neologisms that appeared along with new concepts and realities;

3) Depending on the purpose of creation, neologisms are divided into:

The emergence of neologisms

How are new words born in the Russian language? Experts name different sources, but there are two main ones:

  1. New words are borrowed from other languages ​​(general linguistic neologisms);
  2. New words are created by writers and journalists (copyright neologisms).

Thousands of new words appear in the Russian language every year. Conventionally, they can be divided into the following groups:

  • New words do not become widespread and “die”;
  • New words are popularized and move from neologisms to common ones;
  • New words do not become widespread and remain neologisms.

Many of the new words do not become widespread; a small part of the words “settles” in the vocabulary of the Russian language. This is due to the fact that technologies and concepts that are called words are not widely used in people's lives.

Over time, neologisms cease to be new and become common words. Once upon a time, the words TV, traffic light, astronaut, and landing on the moon were new. Now they are understandable to any Russian-speaking person.

There are words that remain neologisms and do not become commonly used. They are formed on the basis of morphemes existing in the Russian language and are constructed according to well-known models of word formation. Such words can be found in the works of Russian writers, for example, the words “hulk” and “merge” in V.V. Mayakovsky.

Neologisms are newly formed words that did not previously exist in the language. Using the laws of Russian word formation, we can, by analogy with existing words, create new words so that they are understandable for perception. The use of neologisms, the so-called “word creation,” is widespread in poetry, and the function of new formations varies depending on the way in which this new word is created. If a word is created by analogy with archaic words, then a neologism can play the role of an archaism. For example, if a new formation with a French root is introduced into a stylized letter like the quoted Gorbunov’s, then, by analogy with the words surrounding it, it acquires the character of archaism. Thus, in the following words of Tsar Berendey from Ostrovsky’s “The Snow Maiden”:

Decorated with heavenly circles

Subscribers in the wards ceilings

High...

the word “subscriber” in the meaning of “artist” is probably a new formation of Ostrovsky, but among the archaic vocabulary of Berendey’s speeches, this neologism plays the function of an archaism.

Folk etymologies by Ostrovsky and Leskov, used as vocabulary of petty-bourgeois dialect, are in most cases new formations. The following examples from Leskov are the same new formations with a focus on the peculiarities of dialects (pseudo-barbarisms motivated by everyday word usage):

“Ah! Yes, you also have a school here. Well, that’s why this little room is bad: well, it’s nothing for school.”

“Well, that’s great: there you have it, gentlemen, we have beer and honey, I’ll make you such a lamp from this that...” Termosesov kissed his fingers and finished: “your tongue, and when you finish drinking, swallow it.”

-What kind of lanpopo is this? – asked Achilles.

“Not lanpopo, but lampopo - a drink made from beer and honey.”*

"Soborians".)

In all these cases, neologisms are introduced as a sign of foreign vocabulary. But often neologisms are introduced as vocabulary characteristic of the language of the work itself. These are, for example, Benediktov’s neologisms:

Who's going to the thunderous rampart?

Through the lightning of heaven?

This is he - the mighty ship,

White-tailed, floating

Volnobrets is a water cutter!

"Sorry!" I said to my beloved,

A pre-battle sword clattered at her feet...

Benediktov has new formations like: “volatile”, “man up”, “headless”, “armored”, “dental”, “non-trampler”, “daredevil”, “stranger”, “eggishness”, etc.

In recent times, Igor Severyanin has cultivated poetic neologisms:

I, genius, Igor Severyanin,

Intoxicated with his victory,

I'm screened all over the place,

I am completely confirmed...

Neologisms have different functions. During periods of establishment of a literary language, neologisms are created in search of new words for new concepts. Thus, many words were introduced into the literary language by Karamzin (for example, the word “industry”).

The neologisms of Benediktov and Severyanin, of course, are different: these are new formations for naming old concepts. They are formed to update the verbal expression of a banal formula in order to avoid speech patterns.

However, in a neologism, what is generally important is not so much its verbal function as the method of its formation. In order for a neologism to be understandable, it is necessary that it be formed with the help of so-called “living morphemes”, i.e. morphemes, the meaning of which in the formation of words is still vividly perceived and which, therefore, are currently forming new words. In a word you can feel how it is made, from what parts and morphemes it is composed and according to what principle. The very image of word creation—poetic morphology—is comprehended. And usually each era has its own poetic morphology. So, at the beginning of the 19th century. (and even earlier - at the end of the 18th century) compound adjectives like the constant Homeric epithets (see below) were characteristic - “rose-yellow”, “silver-azure”, “fast-running”, “green-curly”, “golden- turquoise”, etc.

In Benediktov’s neologisms, it is especially common to form a noun from an adjective using the compound suffix “nost”: “egginess”, “sweet singing”, “restlessness”, “fragility”, cf. "unsoftening". On the other hand, verbs from nouns ending in “to develop” are common - “celadon”, “rhyme weaving”, “man up”. Along with these neologisms, the words for “ness” and “to be” – “eternity”, “to be mad” - that already existed in the language before, also acquire the character of poetic words.

In the poetic style, sometimes we have a selection of adjectives - epithets with certain suffixes - for “willow”: “silent”, “jealous”, “ghoulish”, etc., for “isy”: “radiant”, “silver”, “ wavy”, etc. Khlebnikov’s completely unique neologisms, which played a large role in developing the language of modern futurism, are very characteristic.
